jbw55 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Since finishing up the reno on the living room I thought our Grand Piano could use a bit of TLC also.....I started off with Howard's Restor-A -Finish, this stuff is great, really brings the color back to wood and easy to apply. Use of some 0000# steelwool together with the restor-a-finish works nicely also. Next I used Minwax Wipe on Poly, another easy product to use, I took one of those plastic cut in tools for painting and wraped a blue paper shop towel around it.....just pour a bit on it and wipe with the grain and your done. Last I gave it a coat of Howard's lemon oil. I'm thrilled how it all turned out considering the Piano is 90 years old.....now good for another 90 years LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbw55 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yes it did thanks....it was in fairly good shape before but a little work brought back its nice wood tone. I give the credit to the Howard products there great and really easy to use, highly recommended if you have anything wood that needs a bit of life put back into it.

WigWagWorkshop Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Absolutely Stunning! Me being a woodworker, me least favorite thing to do is the finishing, it's like one has to be a mad scientist to figure it all out LOL. I do love the sanding process thought. however, I know the majority of woodworkers absolutely hate it lol. I have a ton of books and articles on doing finishes, there are so many options. -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
